Ino almost squealed with delight to find Sasuke at her door, but her voice died in her throat at her first good look at him. She'd heard from Sakura that Sasuke was back, but had yet to see him, and she hadn't been sure of whether or not to believe Sakura's tale of just how much more gorgeous the Uchiha had become in the time he'd been gone. Now, it was clear Sakura's story had been a gross understatement!!
“Sasuke-kun...” she whispered when she found her voice again, openly staring and not quite realizing it.
“Ino.” He greeted and nodded to her politely, then he looked out to the sky. “I'd like to talk to you... It's a nice night. Walk with me.” and it was a nice night. He found her stares were not entirely unsettling, but he certainly didn't want to take more time than he had to. He didn’t want to lead Ino on any more than he wished to do so with Sakura. Sasuke was in luck, however, knowing that Ino was a lot less sensitive than Sakura and a lot quicker on the uptake of situations similar at least to this one. ::How could there be a situation like this? Your long time crush leaves everything behind and then returns one day to tell you he’s a vampire and needs you to donate to his insane cause of killing his own big brother by donating a few pints of blood? Aniki, what have you done to my head…?:: he thought, grimly.
“Of course!” she cooed with a coy smile, shutting the door behind her as she stepped closer to him. “What do you want to talk about?” she purred sweetly, going from shocked maiden to temptress in 0.5 seconds flat (a new record!). Maybe she had a chance to finally defeat Sakura in the war over Sasuke's heart!
“Follow me and I'll tell you...”
He led the way out of town towards the training grounds, but as they walked he asked her, “What exactly have you heard about me since my return?”
Ecstatic that Sasuke was asking her for information Ino answered, “Just that your arrival unsettled Hokage-sama for some strange reason, and that you injured her in a spar. Also, I heard that Naruto's acting weird again, though not as weird as when you left. I haven't seen you at all during the day, Sasuke-kun. Are you in the habit of sleeping during the day?” she asked curiously. It wasn't so strange for some ninja to change their sleeping patterns to fit their specialties or assignments.
“There's one vital piece of information...” he began as they reached the quietude of the training grounds. He turned to face her completely and finished his sentence, “That you're missing. It will explain why you never see me during the day... but first - have you ever had reason to fear me?” ::This is taking too long... but I'll be fine. I'm not going to lose to something so base, damn it! I want to do this right...::
Surprised by such a question Ino quickly answered, “Of course not!” But she was lying. Ever since Sasuke had succeeded in running to Orochimaru no one was quite sure whether the younger Uchiha was trustworthy anymore. And nearly everyone harbored at least wariness towards Sasuke, if not fear of the Sharingan and what he might have learned under the evil Sannin. Ino was one of the wary.
Sasuke stared at her for several silent minutes. He could tell she was lying, her voice cracked a little, almost inaudibly to even his ears, and her scent was a little nervous. But he didn't have time to go hunting for someone else right now. He'd come this far... “Ino, something happened when I left... I'm not the same person everyone knew before,” he murmured thoughtfully and looked off his face fell into shadow and was obscured by one raven-wing-bang. “That said, I don't know any other way of telling you this but to show you...” he added and turned back to face her. As before, his more predatory appearance was sinfully beautiful. His eyes glowed a vibrant black that sheened lightly, not quite animal reflection yet, but similar to that. His face had become nearly indescribable, his lips a little fuller his and his expression naturally sultry, almost entirely seductive.
“The difference is in more than my appearance,” he explained finally and as he spoke - though they affected his speech not at all - his cat-like canine teeth gleamed a little under the vibrance of the moon. Konoha had had a surprising run of luck with so many clear nights in a row, he thought vaguely, his attention still mostly on Ino, but drifting impersonally.
Ino was struck dumb by Sasuke's sudden increase in beauty, but her awe was soon equaled by the instinctual fear she felt at the aura of "predator" that he radiated. She took a few cautious steps back. “What happened to you...?” she whispered hoarsely after a few long moments.
Deciding it best not to move even a millimeter for the moment, the Uchiha remained perfectly still as he answered Ino's shaky question. “I was propositioned by a vampire. His offer was one... I would have been crazy to refuse.” He wasn't sure whether he wanted to say more than that or not, so he fell quiet and let that sink in a little. As an afterthought he added, “Tsunade-sama, the Frog Hermit and Kakashi-sensei already know about this.” ::And that should say that the Hokage pardoned me anyway... If she hasn't gotten stupid since I last saw her...::
“Oh...” She didn't know what a "vampire" was, but she guessed that Sasuke was one now... and if the two most powerful people in the village knew and had pardoned him then he couldn't be the threat her instincts were telling her he was. “Why... are you telling me this...?” she asked with renewed curiosity.
“A vampire... I'll make this short and as little in complication as possible... is something that isn't quite alive or dead. To survive I need to drink blood.” ::She's going to think I'm crazy...:: he got the sinking feeling, but continued steadily onward in his explanation. “In exchange for a few small inconveniences I have more power than I could have ever hoped to achieve on my own. The point is, there are very few people I trust... and fewer still that trust me. Ino, animal blood will only hold me over for so long... I need your help.” ::It's not begging... it's asking for help............. So why do I have to "remind" myself of that fact?::
That took an even longer moment to sink in. Ino almost couldn't believe that there was such a creature that lived solely on other creatures' blood... But upon closer examination of Sasuke she did believe. It was a very good reason for the elongated canines he sported, and his paleness. “You mean you need my blood...” she stated softly. She thought it over carefully before slowly nodding, feeling almost honored that Sasuke had come to her for help... to her for ‘food’. “I will give you my blood.”
A small sigh rushed past his lips. He hadn't even realized he had been holding his breath. But he didn’t have time to ponder his minor surprise at the moment. Sasuke opened his arms to her - she had to be entirely willing - and waited.
Confident that Sasuke would not harm her - especially since he had asked her permission first - she calmly walked into his embrace, wondering how he would take blood from her.
“Thank you...” he whispered, his gratefulness plain in his voice. Sasuke's hands settled on her upper arms just below the shoulders and held her gently. They were surprisingly warm hands for all that he had just told her and by his pallor. “Tilt your head back and to your right... but don't strain. I promise you will feel nothing but pleasure...”
Ino nodded her understanding and did as told, waiting.
The first thing she felt was his breath over her sensitive throat, warm and caressing. Then his tongue lapped gently at her fluttering pulse moistening the skin, numbing the initial prick of delicate fangs. Sasuke's eyes shut slowly in bliss. Nothing yet that he had experienced was like the breaking point of human skin beneath his fangs, or that first gush of hot red blood as it pulsed out onto his tongue. He paused for just a second mentally and then rethought that. There was one thing... kissing Naruto... but that was to be thought of when he didn't have to monitor Ino's vital signs. His lips closed over the twin wounds not letting a single drop of the precious liquid escape. He knew, as he had felt at the very beginning of his Change, that she would only feel something akin to arousal. His subconscious, for willing victims, triggered those sensations in her mind rather than allow her to feel the blood leaving her body as a frightening sensation. Any living creature would find the feeling of blood leaving them a naturally disconcerting and undesirable thing and so vampires were built to accommodate for that with their telepathy and other such powers. He would only drink enough to ease his Thirst, and then he would seek out another comrade to take from. He didn't want to harm any of them by taking too much at once.
Ino shuddered in pleasure and clutched at Sasuke's arms as her knees weakened. She'd only dreamed of having Sasuke touching her so intimately and the feel of his lips on her neck was like heaven on earth. She just barely registered the feel of her quickly beating heart pumping her blood all the faster into Sasuke's willing mouth. A small whimper escaped her when he stopped drinking and pulled away.
Again his tongue caressed her throat, the chemicals in his saliva having changed drastically. Originally, when he had bitten her, the chemicals in his saliva had served to keep the wounds open, now however they would close it incredibly fast. He pulled her close to him and licked his lips as his fangs retreated readily at his command. “Thank you, Ino. There won't even be marks in the morning...”
“Anything for you, Sasuke-kun,” she cooed into his ear sweetly as she hugged him tight. Not one to turn down an opportunity she stole a quick kiss from him, a little amazed at her own boldness.
Sasuke too was a little surprised by Ino's boldness, but he smirked faintly when she pulled away again. Then his expression turned a little somber. “Ino... I'm grateful. I just ... don't want you to get the wrong impression from this. I'm not looking for a relationship. I have nothing to offer to a woman... but friendship. And there is nothing that says you have to do this for me the next time I ask... ok?” This was definitely Sasuke. Sure his voice was ten billion times sexier and he was triple that hotter than he had been when he'd left, but could that sincerity and openness behind the even tones really be Sasuke?
“I could never say no to you, Sasuke-kun,” Ino said with honest sweetness, though her smile was a little strained. Just a moment before she'd been so hopeful that she had a chance at Sasuke's heart. :: But who says I still can't win it? All I need is a little time.:: Her smile eased at that thought. “I'll always be willing to help you.”
“It's good to know there is still someone I can be at ease with....” his small smile was stunning, but it vanished before she'd really registered it. “You should get some rest and eat a large breakfast... orange juice,” he said and she suddenly found herself supported with an arm around her waist and one of her own arms held over his shoulders. There wasn't much difference in height, at least not enough to make the position uncomfortable. They were already heading back for her home. ::That wasn't enough... I suppose... Lee would be my next choice...::
